- This old recipe had no instructions.

- Add eggs one at a time.

- It will make a stiff dough, form into a log or two on wax paper, and put into the refrigerator for a couple hours (or overnight).
- To make cookies, roll out one portion at a time.
- Roll thin. Cut with cookie cutters into shapes, and put onto greased cookie sheet.
- Coat top with an beaten egg wash, and sprinkle with colored sugar (red/green is most popular). Also popular is topping the egg wash with chopped peanuts and cinnamon.

- Cool and store in an air tight tin to keep them crisp.
- This recipe will make a bunch of cookies (we never counted them!).
